Marijuana use, for example, has been relatively flat, with a slight increase in the last two years. Now if supply has increased, prices have dropped, more states are decriminalizing, more states are passing medical marijuana, more states are making marijuana their "lowest arrest priority",

Those are very good examples of the WOD failing to convince people and lawmakers at the State and local level to go along with their mj policies.

yet marijuana use remains relatively flat, what do you mean there's no correlation?

If you want to say the WOD is correlated with a flat demand since 1989, I'll agree.

Given all the above, I think marijuana use "staying flat" is a major victory!

Yes and you have made no case that the WOD is responsible for the major victory.

Maybe the flat demand is a major victory for the relaxation of mj laws at the State and local level. It is correlated with a flat demand, same as the WOD.

Here's what I think: most people inclined to smoke pot already smoke it, and that neither the WOD nor the easing of local laws had much to do with the major victory of flat demand.

"Yes and you have made no case that the WOD is responsible for the major victory."

Well, ask yourself. If the WOD went away, would drug use increase? If you answered yes, then the WOD is succeeding in keeping drug use down.

If you said no, then you're an idiot with an agenda.
